2O POINTS slice is made perpendicular to the base of a right rectangular pyramid through the vertex. What is the area of the resulting two-dimensional cross section? Enter you answer in the box. cm²

Respuesta :

the cross section formed would be a triangle
the base would be 15cm and height 34 cm 
Im assuming that the slice is parallel to the sides of the base.

the area = 1/2 * 15 * 34 =   255  cm^2

The area of the resulting two-dimensional cross-section i.e. triangle is 255cm².

We know that when a slice will be made perpendicular to the base of a right rectangular pyramid through the vertex, the resulting two-dimensional cross-section will be a triangle with a base equal to the rectangular base and a height equal to the height of the pyramid.

What is a pyramid?

A pyramid is a conic solid with a polygonal base.

The base of the triangle = 15cm

The height of the triangle = 34cm

So, the area of the triangle =0.5*base*height

The area of the triangle =0.5*15*34 =255cm²

Therefore, the area of the resulting two-dimensional cross-section i.e. triangle is 255cm².
